"Dynamic Award Pricing" by UA; questions, experiences, .... {Archive}
Details are scarce right now as to exactly what the implementation will be but a company spokesman confirmed to me earlier this afternoon that
United Airlines expects to "begin introducing dynamic award pricing" within the year.
[W]e’re interested generally in giving customers a broad set of redemption options, as evidenced by our extensive non-air redemption offers and our focus on ensuring saver-award availability in general.
The quote mostly avoids the issue, though being able to say that there are seats available more often - even when rates start to increase - is still good for marketing.
Lots of open questions about what it means for partner awards, too.
